“A midwife is in the thick of it, she sees it all,” Jennifer Worth, author ofCall the Midwife. It is midwifing in its broadest sensefrom releasing a newborns stuck shoulders or catching a baby in the caul, to Socratic questioning around body autonomy, social justice and climate sustainability. The poems are layered and bi-cultural, rooted in contrasts between America and Sweden, as well as between colonial/industrial and ecological/relational ways of caring for each other and the earth. With a sense of humor, love, art and aging,Jordemoderis a collection of midwifed hope.
